The LinkBuds Fit are Sony’s noise-cancelling in-ear earbuds released in late 2024, with soft supporter fins to stay put in the ear. They offer an 8.4 mm driver, SBC/AAC/LDAC/LC3 codecs, connection to two devices at once, DSEE Extreme, IPX4 and 4.9 g per bud; battery is up to 5.5 hours with ANC on and 8 hours off. Independent testing praised bold, bass-forward sound, a secure fit for sport and good ANC, while criticising touch controls, only three tip sizes and battery life behind rivals. Owners praise sound and comfort; some report slipping when sweaty, touch sensitivity and app issues.
LinkBuds Fit WF-LS910N in-ear true wireless earbuds; black, white, green and pink. The open-design LinkBuds Open (WF-L910) and the older LinkBuds S (WF-LS900N) are separate models.

Sony presents the LinkBuds Fit as comfortable all-day earbuds held in place by newly designed supporters and ear tips, with noise cancelling and an ambient sound mode that adjusts to the surroundings. Sony India
What Hi-Fi? found the LinkBuds Fit’s sound bold and energetic, suited to rock and hip-hop; detail is good, but bass is somewhat heavy and the presentation is less organised than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024). Standard ANC damps outside noise well, though the Bose is more refined. At 4.9 g each the buds stayed in place while running and jumping. Touch controls needing firm presses, only three ear tip sizes and about 21 hours with the case trailing rivals were criticised; a 5-minute quick charge gives about 1 hour of playback. The Sound Connect app offers a five-band EQ, multipoint and 360 Reality Audio.

Sound, comfort and battery are praised most; Destroyer2oo4 confirms about 5.5 hours with ANC on and 8 hours off. insomniak1 gets under 5 hours with ANC, notes the case does not support wireless charging and says volume needs many taps. AlexanderR reports audio dropping after videos, crackling on calls and slipping when sweaty; JENNIFERC says the buds do not seat fully and fall out; Sony suggested a firmware update and trying other supporters. AtlantaGreg says one side stuttered when wet and app setup was buggy, with updates taking about an hour.
